My experience of getting oil to dry over stain isn’t good so a few practice tries will be needed.  @rocknroller912 I think using foam brushes are good when applying oil over stains. Just get some oil on the project (one…   Read more»

I’m trying to think of something clever to do with the light colour bits on the body. @rocknroller912 It looking great. Try using some dark grain filler on the lighter wood on the body. What finish are you planning on?…   Read more»

That looks great @rocknroller912!

@rocknroller912 I’ve been trying to find some 2mm bright yellow plastic (or similar) rods so I can make some fret marker dots for the side of this neck. I’ve not been able to find anything that thin so I’m going…   Read more»

The yellow dots look good @rocknroller912 Yeah, it was something different specified by the customer. I had to use non standard materials to get something so yellow and I have to use something completely different for the side dots (I…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 Wow! One positive. Good for you, it won’t last. Enjoy. 👍

Ive heard of people being attached to their instruments but that’s real dedication 

@rocknroller912 Yeah it can become a real bind. 

@rocknroller912 Thanks for that, I appreciate it. That’s why I continue to post a lot of pictures, even of any mistakes and/or repairs during the finishing process, I want everyone to get good finishes on their projects. A lot of…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 Yeah, that is crazy, very risky. I can’t stand nitro if I’m honest, people only use it on guitars because they think they should and that’s what all the guitar building supply shops sell. Paint products have moved on…   Read more»

Thanks for the link, I’ve just ordered my tin of Rustins G Shield, £9.48 including delivery is a good price from NWG. I looked at Rustins website, they want £10 + £7.50 postage.

Just got think link from a friend who is an industrial chemist 

@rocknroller912 Excellent, that’s new from NWG 👍

Ive just read the sad news. She was one of my favourite writers/players who I only discovered about 10 years ago.

Yeah. She was a great artist and a sweet person @rocknroller912. Very sad news. 
🙏🎸🎶🙂

@rocknroller912 if you look further to the bottom of this page, there are links to “Related Topics”, those are the other two Barncasters. This is the advantage of “tagging” topics and posts on this website, it groups them all so…   Read more»

Ive been asked to make something similar from an old scaffold plank and am not sure how to start, so I will watch yours first and see how it goes. @rocknroller912 Yeah, no probs. There are pictures on here of…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 It’s a tricky one as generally people only experience glueing by practice/experimenting, rarely have I met someone who was taught what “enough” glue looks like and what “enough” clamping pressure feels like, I say rarely, never! I’ve never had…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 makes sense, the guitar I worked was given to me to play with ultimately so it didn’t matter if I happened to ruin it entirely it wasn’t an issue. What’s your issue with titebond, this is what I’ve found…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 that’s true but I think they’re an invaluable learning resource. My first significant effort at fixing a guitar was when I was given one with a ruined truss rod. Removing the fretboard, replacing the rod working to cleanly repair…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 yeah very displeased with my Frankenfinish! I took to it with the random orbital in the end and took it right back finishing by hand with the grain. First coat of deep colour went on well so all should…   Read more»

Sadly what I created was a mess @rocknroller912 I know what you’re getting at but that’s really not what it’d have come out like and is about as far away from what I wanted as you can get. No matter,…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 With active pickups I meant the system described by @koendb and @mattbeels  : pickups that use a 9V battery. EMG pickups for an example, they have their own circuit. I don’t know their performance, never listened. I think I…   Read more»
